3. TRAINING PACKAGE
The training package includes the competencies chart, the flowchart, the modules, the
course structure, and the assessment guidelines.
3.1 Course structure
The course structure describes the learning outcomes for each learning unit. These learning
outcomes are the essential skills and knowledge to be acquired. The contents to be covered
for each learning outcome are prescriptive. The Learning activities contain a series of
suggestions, usually with several options, that will guide the learner and the trainer.
3.2 Competencies chart
The competencies chart is a table that presents an overview of the specific competencies,
the general competencies, the work process and the time allocated to each competency.
This table provides an overall view of the competencies of the training program and allows
identification of the logical sequence of the learning of these competencies.
The competencies chart shows the relationship between general and specific competencies
that are particular to the occupation, as well as the key stages of the work process. It shows
the links between the elements in the horizontal axis and those in the vertical axis. The
symbol (ο) marks a relationship between a general competency and specific competency.
The symbol (∆) indicates a relationship between a specific competency and a step in the
process of work. When the symbols are darkened, it indicates that the link is taken into
account in the description of the specific competency.
The competencies chart allows the trainer to consider the complexity of the competencies
in the organization of the progress of learning. Therefore, the vertical axis shows the specific
competencies in the order they should be acquired.
This is the starting point of the presentation of the competencies in the flowchart presented
in the following pages:

3.3 Flowchart
The flowchart of sequencing of learning is a schematic representation of the order of
acquisition of the competencies. It provides an overall planning of the entire training
programme and shows the relationship between the modules. This type of planning is to
ensure consistency and progression of learning. For each module, the flowchart shows the
learning that is already in place, the learning that is to take in parallel or later. The positions
defined will have a decisive impact on all subsequent pedagogical choices. The flowchart of
the sequence of learning of the modules of the training programme is presented on the
following page.

4. ASSESSMENT GUIDELINES
4.1 Assessment Methodology
To assess knowledge, practical, and application skills through a jury system of continuous
evaluation that encourages learners to display understanding of the principles in application
to set practical tasks and their attendant theory to assess self-learning.
4.2 Portfolio
A portfolio is a collection of learner work representing learner performance. It is a folder (or
binder or even a digital collection) containing the learner’s work as well as the learner’s
evaluation of the strengths and weaknesses of the work. Portfolios reflect not only work
produced (such as papers and assignments, direct demonstration, indirect demonstration,
products, documents), but also it is a record of the activities undertaken over time as part of
learner learning. The portfolio is meant to show learner growth, development, and
achievements in the education system. It also shows that you have met specific learning
goals and requirements. A portfolio is not a project; it is an ongoing process for the
formative assessment. The portfolio output (formative assessment) will be considered only
as enough for complementary and general modules. Besides, it will serve as a verification
tool for each candidate that he/she attended the whole training before he/she undergoes
the summative assessment for specific modules.
There are two types of assessment (Formative Assessment and Summative/Integrated
Assessment). Each assessment has its own rule for passing to be declared competent.
Formative Assessment
- This is applied on all types of modules (e.g. Complementary, General and Specific
modules)
- A trainee to be competent for a formative module must have at least 70% on checked
items or “yes” in indicators (e.g. questions, indicators in the checklist)
- Each trainee should be competent on all formative assessments to be declared
competent on that module
- All formative assessment should be declared competent before taking the
summative/integrated assessment
12| Page Skills for a better destiny
Summative/Integrated Assessment
All Summative/Integrated assessment should match with the content of the module in the curriculum.
Summative/Integrated Assessment is always in practical, giving it as a theoretical type of assessment is not acceptable.
The integrated situation provided in the curriculum is a sample of the assessment to be carried out, the Trainer/Teacher has the role of developing another one referring to the task to be carried out in the integrated situation in accordance to the circumstances inside school, but the integrated situation should stick on the components of a task.
During Summative/Integrated assessment, assessor panel members should be three (3).
This Summative/Integrated assessment can be seen in specific modules and the Trainee can be declared competent by the following rules:
For YES or NO scoring of indicators in Summative/Integrated Checklist
Assessment criteria Passing line in the assessment indicators
Quality of process 90%
Quality of product 100%
Relevance 90%
Rest of criteria/ any other criteria
(example: Safety) 100%
The trainee can be declared competent based on the assessment CRITERIA and its
respective assessment indicators
Note: The Assessor should check if the 10% indicator (Quality of Process and Relevance) in
which the trainee was not able to meet during Summative/Integrated Assessment should
not be among those indicators that can cause any hazard, or the one indicator that is
performed poorly where there is room for improvement.
1. During assessment, trainees with special needs (e.g. people with disability) should be assisted accordingly.
2. Deputy school manager in-charge of studies, class teacher, and trainer should consider the status (competent/not yet competent) of trainees before delivering the next module with pre-requisites.
3. Respect of flowchart particularly in considering the delivery of modules which has prerequisite of a following/subsequent module is considered in issuing TVET certificate, otherwise other modules can be given anytime.
4. All evidences during assessment (e.g. quiz, checklist, forms) should have a written form that is compiled in the trainer (source) and tTrainee (result) portfolio. Portfolio is the
13| Page Skills for a better destiny
responsibility of school, class teacher, and trainees. It should be given to trainees after certification.
5. Industrial Attachment Program (IAP) All trainees should finish and declared competent on all modules before taking IAP
module. Trainees should finish and declared competent on the 30 hours content of IAP
module written in the curriculum before they go to workplace or industry. The school should organize visit for all trainees in the workplace or industry to
confirm and assist IAP especially in filling up the logbook. An interview to the trainee should be conducted in the school after the IAP has been
completed and should be documented in the trainee portfolio. All completed logbooks should be part of the trainee portfolio.

GLOSSARY
1. Assessment: A process of gathering
and judging evidence in order to
decide whether a person has attained
a standard of performance.
2. Assessment criteria: Statements
which describe performances and
place them in context with sufficient
precision to allow valid and reliable
assessment.
3. Best practice: Management practices
and work processes that lead to
outstanding or top-class performance
and provide examples for others.
4. Competency standard: An industry-
determined specification of
performance which sets out the skills,
knowledge and attitudes required to
operate effectively in employment.
Competency standards are made up of
units of competency, which are
themselves made up of elements of
competency, together with
performance criteria, a range of
variables, and an evidence guide.
5. Competency: means the ability to
apply knowledge, skills and
personal, social and methodological
skills in the workplace or during
learning, as well as in personal and
professional development. This ability
or capacity is acquired through
leaning, exposure to the tasks and
series of training allowing one to
perform specific task autonomously.
Reason why in the context of the CBE
Framework competencies are
described as responsibility and
independence.
6. Competency-based assessment (or
CBA): The gathering and judging of
evidence in order to decide whether a
person has achieved a standard of
competency.
7. Complementary competencies: Set of
knowledge, skills and attitudes which
are not directly linked to a specific
occupation or industry, but which are
important for work, education and life
in general, such as communication,
mathematics, organizational aptitude,
and computer literacy, interpersonal
and analytical competency.
8. Core modules: Modules leading to
competencies’ acquisition that an
industry sector has agreed upon as
essential for a person to be accepted
as competent at a particular level. All
modules may be core, but in many
cases competency at a level will
involve core modules plus optional or
specialization modules. Core
competencies are normally those
central to work in a particular
industry.
9. Credential: Formal certification issued
for successful achievement of a
defined set of outcomes, e.g.
successful completion of a course in
recognition of having achieved
particular knowledge, skills or
competencies; successful completion
of an apprenticeship or traineeship.
618| Page Skills for a better destiny
10. Credit: The acknowledgement that a
person has satisfied the requirements
of a module.
11. Curriculum: The specifications for a
course or subject (module) which
describe all the learning experiences a
learner undergoes, generally including
objectives, content, intended learning
outcomes, teaching methodology,
recommended or prescribed
assessment tasks, assessment
exemplars, etc.
12. Evidence guide: The part of a
competency standard which provides
a guide to the interpretation and
assessment of the unit of competency,
including the aspects which need to be
emphasized in assessment,
relationships to other units, and the
required evidence of competency.
13. Flexible delivery: A range of
approaches to providing education
and training, giving learners greater
choice of when, where and how they
learn. Flexible delivery may involve
distance education, mixed-mode
delivery, online education, self-paced
learning, self-directed learning, etc.
14. Formal education: Also formal training
education or training provided in
educational institutions such as
schools, universities, colleges, etc. or
off the job in a workplace, usually
involving direction from a teacher or
instructor.
15. General competencies: competencies
correspond to larger operations that
go beyond the tasks, but generally
contribute to their implementation.
These activities require more
fundamental learning and are
generally common to several tasks and
transferable to many work situations.
16. Generic modules: Modules leading to
the attainment of complementary
competencies.
17. Informal education: The acquisition of
knowledge and skills through
experience, reading, social contact,
etc.
18. Internship: An opportunity for a
learner to integrate career related
experience by participating in planned,
supervised work.
19. Key competencies: Any of several
generic skills or competencies
considered essential for people to
participate effectively in the
workforce. Key competencies apply to
work generally, rather than being
specific to work in a particular
occupation or industry. The following
are key areas of competency which
were developed into seven key
competencies: collecting, analyzing
and organizing information;
communicating ideas and information;
planning and organizing activities;
working with others and in teams;
using mathematical ideas and
techniques; solving problems; and
using technology.
20. Knowledge: means the result of the
adoption of information through the
learning process. Knowledge is a set of
facts, principles, theories and practices
related to area of work or study. In
CBE context lifelong learning
knowledge is described as theoretical
and / or factual.
21. Learning outcomes: are statements
of what learner knows, understands
and can perform, based on the
completion of the learning process,
defined by knowledge, skill and
competency.
619| Page Skills for a better destiny
22. Learning activities: Suggested
activities that can be developed during
lesson planning and activity
preparation. The choice of learning
activities must be tailored according to
group size, available material
resources and communication tools.
23. Learning hours: Amount of hours
required to acquire the competency,
including the time allocated to
evaluation, which is estimated
between 5 and 10% of the total
learning time of the competency.
24. Learning outcomes: Statements that
indicate what learners will know or be
able to do as a result of a learning
activity. Learning outcomes are usually
expressed as knowledge, skills, or
attitudes.
25. Learning unit: Any of the basic
building blocks of a module, which
describes the key activities or the
elements of the work covered by the
module
26. Module: A unit of training which
corresponds to one competency and
which can be completed on its own or
linked to others.
27. Occupation: The principal business of
one’s life.
28. Performance criteria The part of a
competency standard specifying the
required level of performance in terms
of a set of outcomes which need to be
achieved in order to be deemed
competent. It describes the quality
requirements of the result obtained in
labor performance.
29. Qualification: means the formal name
for the result of a process of
assessment and validation, which is
obtained when a competent body
determines that an individual has
achieved learning outcomes to the
standards laid down.
30. Quality assurance: The systems and
procedures designed and
implemented by an organization to
ensure that its products and services
are of a consistent standard and are
being continuously improved.
31. Recognition of prior learning (or RPL):
The acknowledgement of a person’s
skills and knowledge acquired through
previous training, work or life
experience, which may be used to
grant status or credit in a subject or
module.
32. Skills: are the ability to apply
knowledge and use the principle of
“know how” to perform a specific task
and to solve the problem. In the
context of the CBE Framework, skills
are defined as cognitive (involving the
use of logical, intuitive and creative
thinking), practical (including
physical skill and use of methods,
materials, devices and instruments)
and social skills (communication and
cooperation skills, emotional
intelligence and other).
33. Specific competencies: Competencies
that are directly related to the tasks of
the occupation in the workplace
context. They refer to concrete,
practical, and focused aspects
34. Traineeship: A system of vocational
training combining off-the-job training
at an approved training provider with
on-the-job training and practical work
experience. Traineeships generally
take one to two years and are now a
part of the New Apprenticeships
system.
35. Unit of competency: A component of
a competency standard. A unit of
620| Page Skills for a better destiny
competency is a statement of a key
function or role in a particular job or
occupation. See also element of
competency, performance criteria,
